Default Are any sip's welders any good?

I have a small trademig sip mig thing that is preety terrible,as soon as the torch cable is not straight the wire get's stuck.

I'm looking for another compact mig and I see sip do some higher end units(compared to mine anyway) are any of them any good?

I was looking at the Sip migmate 170 dp pro-I'm not looking for a new one as they seem to go very cheap used-but is that because they're are rubbish or because they're not a brand name?

thanks

SIP is a brand name. So avoid the cheap ones.

There are a bunch of threads on the forum from people developing SIPs to make them work a bit. Start with the wire liner http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/sip-wirefeed.htm There are other links back to the forum at the end of that page that might help in further improvements.
